Filter Network - (answer does not match books)

AI Thread Summary
The user is confused because their answer does not align with the textbook solution for the filter network. They initially wrote down an incorrect formula for \bar G_v(j \omega ) but later corrected it. Another participant pointed out an error in the user's nodal equation, clarifying that according to Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), the currents should sum to zero. The user acknowledges their mistake and expresses gratitude for the help. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accurate equations and understanding KCL in circuit analysis.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, as my answer does not match up with the books. Sorry about the scan, it looks kinda bad.

! I made a mistake writing the books answer down. It should be:

\bar G_v(j \omega ) = \frac{j \omega C (R_1+R_2)+1}{j \omega R_1 +1}
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

You sure it's not:

\bar G_v(j \omega ) = \frac{j \omega C (R_1+R_2)+1}{j \omega C R_1 +1}

Anyway, I think your nodal equation is incorrect. KCL states that the sum of all currents flowing out of the node equals to zero. Vi/a and (Vi-Vo)/b are both currents flowing out of the node. So it's supposed to be Vi/a + (Vi-Vo)/b = 0.

slapping myself in the head :smile:

Thanks Rumpelstiltzkin !
